Best RV Parks & Resorts near Port Townsend, WA

This is the very first park I took my motorhome to.  After spending a year getting the rig ready, I was finally ready to take it on the road.  I had joined Thousand Trails earlier in the year and set off to see what I knew.  While I had previous RVs before (5th Wheel, Class C's, Travel trailers) this was my trip in a Class A.

My first visit to the Thousand Trails La Conner site was great.  I was able to find a nice full hook up site at the edge of the park very close to the water.

A couple more visits to the park in the following months gave a less than great experience but still good.

Last week turned a corner.  While the staff is still five star level, the park is showing a lot of wear and tear.  I counted more than a dozen closed sites.  Some of these sites had been closed for a long time.  Potholes and ruts in the road made travel unpleasant but the pools of water (and mud) really stood out.

Granted, I was there in February but these issues were not just seasonal.  Some of the same sites had been closed for the past few visits to the park.  

I hope they start to pay attention to this park because its location is great.

If you enjoy a perfectly spaced concrete pads, paved roads, being close to all the chain restaurants type RV resort, this may not be for you. Otherwise if you enjoy really feeling away from the worlds chaos, being able to sit out with an amazing view and the loudest noise normally being the waves crashing, screeching of eagles and the occasional ship horn bellowing then this is a class A place! We have been all over the country and this is the place we always miss the most. You can stay at WCB in a variety of ways. Bring your own tent and stay on one of the waterside wood platforms. Bring your own RV and stay at either full hook up sites with both 30 and 50 amp available or dry camp. You can rent one of their RVs ranging from an A frame pop up to big motorhomes. There are also waterside cabins, tiny homes and a larger cabin. Really something for every one. AT&T service is decent, bounces between US and Canada towers though so be sure roaming is not an issue for your bill. The owners Tim and Rachel are absolutely great on top of everything else.

There aren’t many rv parks that are close (35ish mins) to Seattle but this is the best option. Office staff is friendly, bathrooms are clean, laundry is cheap ($1 wash), maintenance staff is constantly tending to the grounds, full hook ups, and cute (short) hiking paths surrounding the park. The lake is more of a murky pond and the geese are happy residents here so expect a lot of goose poop at any spot near the water. There’s also no dog park.

Wonderful RV park for long term Escapee-ers or members just passing through. We stopped here for a night, arriving on the weekend with no prior reservations or contact with them. They make it easy for you to self register when they're closed on weekends, just go up to the office and take one of their welcome packets. 

We stayed in a dry camp site for only $7.50, and paid $5 for the dump (dump is only for members as well). FHU sites are around $33 depending on in-season/off-season, but I don't know how we would have figured out which sites were available. There are so many activities and amenities here for the long termers (I believe it's a 55+ park), I couldn't even list them all. 

Showers and laundry were clean and efficient. There's a dog park and a dog walking path (there are signs everywhere about not letting your dog pee or poo on their nice plants). Cell service was good and they have good wifi as well. This would definitely be a spot we'd stop at again when we're in the area next.

A very small RV resort but very clean, helpful management on site but closely parked together. Full 50amp hookup. Close to Olympic National Park (Go early).

Great campground this was hands down one of our favorite thousand trails in Washington you will enjoy this campground Great location great campground would go back

I love thousand trails, we decided last minute to get out of the house and away for the weekend and spend some time outdoors. We didn’t spend a lot of time packing diligently for camping, but anything we forgot we didn’t notice. Thousand trails has everything that we may have left behind, very convenient to pick up from on-site store. There were plenty of outdoor activities to keep the dogs and kiddos entertained. Will definitely be going back soon before the weather gets cold.

A new and clean RV resort about 1 hour from Seattle.

Big shower spaces for free.

Coffee and cafe on side.

Gas stations and McDonalds next to the resort 1 mile from town of Sultan

This is a Thousand Trails facility. Lots of spaces but not many with sewer. It’s first come and you pick a empty spot. If you can find one. Only a few have water views. I forgot a couple of things so was really happy the store was open. I saw the hot tub and mini golf. There was a large open grassy area to play . Everyone was pretty nice.

This is my first time using a thousand trails membership so I didn’t know what to expect. The overall campground is nice with almost all of the sites being surrounded by trees or a view of the bay. But it was disappointing to find that the few sites that have a sewer connection were all taken and no way to know this in advance. The Wi-Fi they have is only at the recreation building so that amenity should not have been listed on their website.  About 20% of the campsites were being occupied by people who seem to be living there year-round with questionable RVs and lots of junk around their site. This diminished the overall nice setting of the campground.

Mike's Beach Resort has a campground located right on HWY 101. The highway is all that separates it from the canal. There are several RV hookup site all with fire pits. There aren't flushing toilets, just an it house. Over all it is a beautiful location. The camp office is just North of it further down hwy 101. The "resort" also has cabins and beach access.

This small campsite is worth a visit. Breath taking view of the ocean and just minutes to the ferry. Book early if you need or want full hook up as there are limited sites with full hook up available.

We have camped here a number of times, usually during the winter months. It has been almost 3 years since we were here and a few changes have been made. You used to be able to snag one of the standard campsites (no hookups) by driving in, selecting one then paying. Now, they all all registration year round.

There is some noise here from the Coupeville-Port Townsend ferry that docks here but it is only every 1.5 hours during the low season. We like to watch the ferries and they don’t make that much noise. But, this is near a major Naval Air Force base in Oak Harbor. Apparently a few new squadrons were brought in a few years ago. For over two hours, we were treated to intermittent but frequent LOUD jets flying close to the ground. We both had headaches and our dogs were upset.

We have a pop up truck camper so, yes, of course, we can hear more noise. We do not have a TV so can’t drown it out. I am just hoping this was where they fly Wednesday. If you have a larger solid RV, you may not experience that loud dull roar. At least they don’t break the sound barrier.

We paid $20 for site 6. This is a standard site, meaning no hookups. Full hook up sites are available for more. There are flush toilets and potable water. The only faucet operating currently is the pump spigot as others were shut off due to frost. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. The sites are level with gravel surface. There is a grassy area for tents and to play games. There is no privacy but there are beaches to walk on and views of several Cascades peaks and the Olympic Range. This is a good spot to camp awaiting the ferry for the next day or you could walk on to explore Port Townsend which has a historical town center.

Fantastic spot to stay or pass through to fill up/empty. They have water, propane, and a dump. They also have great long-term rates.
